This study generates a single cell RNA sequence atlas of the early Drosophila larval eye covering six developmental stages, identifying cell types and specific genes involved in eye development.

ORFanID identifies orphan genes and taxonomically restricted genes across taxonomic levels using NCBI databases and provides visual and tabular results.

The paper identifies new putative targets of the Drosophila Ets transcription factor Pointed using ChIP-seq and integrates these with single-cell genomics data to reveal cell type-specific regulatory elements.

The paper investigates the molecular mechanisms controlling the pigmentation gene yellow in Drosophila guttifera, showing that a single CRM orchestrates complex abdominal patterns through conserved regulatory elements and partial repression of ancestral stripe patterns.

The paper presents single cell RNA-seq data of the adult Drosophila eye, identifying novel marker genes and clusters for major cell types.

The paper investigates how abdominal spot rows in three Drosophila species evolved by examining mRNA expression patterns of pigmentation genes during pupal development.
